  7. WHAT IS THE SCHOOL NUTRITION FOUNDATION (SNF)? • Sister organization to SNA • Raising funds for: • Education and professional development • Research • Scholarships for SNA members • 501(c)(3) organization • Contributions are tax‐deductible • Established in 1964 • “Well‐nourished students ready for success”

  8. WHY DO PEOPLE GIVE? • Hearts over heads: • Should donate to the cause that has the greatest impact • But people don’t respond to facts and figures • More responsive to appeals that feature a single, identifiable beneficiary • Influenced by others: Giving is fundamentally a social act; people give more to a university if the person calling is the person’s former roommate • Giving is contagious: Seeing others give makes an individual more likely to give

  9. WHY DO PEOPLE GIVE? • Belief in the mission of the organization • “Well‐nourished children ready for success” • Somebody asked him or her to “consider” a gift • Others were giving to the organization • Like to be recognized • Makes them feel good!

  13. STATE INCENTIVE FOR ANNUAL GIVING • What counts? • $10 or more • Made by an individual (not just SNA members) • Made by State affiliate (included in total, not in % participation) • Made between January 1 and December 31 • Not restricted for a Special Fund • Based on membership totals in May 2016 • Scholarship process will mirror the process used by SNF for its scholarship program

  14. STEPS TO SUCCESS: STEP 1 1. Set goals – Participation and Total • Consider 3% ‐ 5% Participation • Consider a monetary goal (Between 3% of State membership X $25 and 5% of State membership X $25) • Example: Membership of 2,500: 75(3% of 2,500) X $25 = $1,875 and 125(5% of 2,500) X $25 = $3,125 GOAL: $2,500 • Example: Membership of 750: 23 X $25 = $575 and 38 X $25 = $950 GOAL: $750 • Resist the urge to set a goal based on $1 or $2 per member • What will happen?

  15. STEPS TO SUCCESS: STEPS 2 AND 3 2. Make Your Contribution • Always easier to ask somebody to do something you have already done • You can ask others to “join” you in support of the Foundation 3. Ask State Affiliate Leaders to “Consider” Making Contributions • Share the goals with the officers of State Association • 100% participation by State Leaders sets the example for other members • Ask State Leaders to ask others to support the Annual Fund

  16. STEPS TO SUCCESS: STEPS 4 AND 5 4. Ask 2016 Donors to Renew Their Support • Best donors are prior year’s donors – Listed on website • Ask them to consider a “recurring” gift – monthly gift • Ask them to ask two – four others to consider a contribution 5. Ask Scholarship Recipients to Consider Making Contributions • Received benefit from Foundation • Opportunity to help others

  25. SAMPLE CONVERSATION: PART 1 • Do you know about the School Nutrition Foundation? • Tell the person about the Foundation in your own words • Allow the person to ask questions • Ask: “Would you consider making a contribution to the Foundation?” • We hope the answer is YES • If the person says NO, thank the person and tell him/her that you hope he/she will consider later in the year

  26. SAMPLE CONVERSATION: PART 2 • Then ask: “Would you consider a contribution of $50?” • If the person says that is more than they wish to give, ask: • “What amount would be comfortable for you?” • You may want to mention that gifts of $10 or more are included in the incentive program for the state affiliate to get scholarship support from the Foundation. • Ask the person to complete a pledge form or to make the gift online • Say “THANK YOU.” • Encourage person to ask 2 – 4 others to “consider” a contribution
